"Remind me why I am coming along again?" Miroku asked as him and Inuyasha drove to Tokyo.

"I thought that you might like to come along, and also who else is going to keep an eye on you to make sure that you don't blow our cover.." Inuyasha said calmly as he slouched some in the passenger side seat.

"You think I would be the one to blow our cover? Who is the one who has the expensive car; and who is stuck with the cheap old van?" Miroku said accurately while he briefly glanced at Inuyasha.

"For starters, this van isn't cheap, I mean who was the one who added and paid for the engine booster? And for two; I work ten times more then you do, so I deserve a expensive car, and I never said that you couldn't get an expensive car." Inuyasha stated boldly.

"Still." Miroku said lightheartedly.

"Are you sure you know where we are going?" Inuyasha asked looking around at the street sign.

"Of course I do, but we aren't going to the apartment that we rented; first we are going to go check out where your next target lives." Miroku said as he took a left a the intersection, before he checked the map he had that pin-pointed the location of the girls house.

"Alright, but lets hurry I'm getting hungry." Inuyasha said as he rested his elbow on the side of the door and looked out the window.

"Inuyasha, I'm going to say this one more time," Miroku began, his tone serious " I think that something isn't right about this new assignment that you got, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes. Everything will be fine, nothing will go wrong, now stop worrying and drive." Inuyasha said his tone bored.

"Alright, but if anything bad happens do not say that I didn't warn you." Miroku said as his serious tone lightened.

"Whatever." Inuyasha said as he noticed they were drawing to a stop.

"We're here." Miroku said as he parked the van next to a large number of steps leading up to a shrine.

"So this is where she lives." Inuyasha stated more then asked.

"Yep..I think tha..." Miroku started to say before he trailed off when he saw someone at the top of the shrine steps.

"What's wrong?" Inuyasha said looking at Miroku, before he turned and looked at the top of the stairs where Miroku was looking. At the top of the stairs stood a girl with long brown hair, though neither of them could see her face because she was turned around talking to someone.

"I wonder who that beautiful goddess is, maybe I should go introduce myself." Miroku said as he was unable to draw his eyes away from the women at the top of the shrine steps.

"Ohh no you don't! I'm not gonna let you run off so you can go ask her to 'bear your child', we have enough problems as it is and I'm not going to let you add more by acting perverted." Inuyasha yelled making Miroku turn his attention away from the girl and on him.

"I am appalled that you think so low of me, I would never do that to such a beautiful goddess." Miroku said innocently.

"Oh yes what was I thinking you would never do something like that." Inuyasha replied sarcastically.

"I know! What were you thinking!" Miroku said completely missing the sarcasm in Inuyasha's voice.

"Lets just get to the apartment before that girl sees us and starts to wonder what we are doing down here." Inuyasha said glancing up at the girl that was still chatting away with an unseen person at the top of the shrine steps.

"Alright." Miroku said as he nodded as he started up the engine and drove away.

"So how far away is this apartment?" Inuyasha asked crossing his arms over his chest.

"Umm..it's a ten minute drive from the shrine to it and a 25minute walk." Miroku said stopping at a red light.

"How big is it?" Inuyasha asked looking in the back of the van that was now empty of the guns that once lined the walls and the two computers. The only thing that was back there now was 7suitcases, two lap top computers, and two fourteen caliber semi-automatic handguns with four cartridges of ammunition for each. There was still some tracking devices and some other tools that might be useful. Before Inuyasha knew it they pulled into an underground parking garage and exited their van taking their luggage and lap tops with them.

"What apartment are we in?" Inuyasha asked Miroku as they both carefully tucked their handguns into the waistband of their jeans.

"Umm..we are in apartment 8A and the third floor." Miroku said absentmindedly running a hand through his hair before picking up his suitcases and headed to the elevator with Inuyasha.

About a minute later Inuyasha and Miroku entered the apartment that they would be staying in until Inuyasha's job was over. It wasn't too small; yet it wasn't too big to bring much attention to them. The apartment was well furnished, with grey carpet covering the entire floor except the little kitchen area to the left, which had black and white checker tiles, and which also contained a stove, a refrigerator, a microwave, and wooden cabinets that lined the walls.

To their right there was a small closet, for hanging coats and other items. Straight ahead, a little ways away from the closet was a living room area, that had a white couch with a loveseat on the left side and a recliner on the left side. In front of the couch was a rectangular deep chestnut wooden table. The T.V was a 42 inch plasma, which was mounted on the wall in front of the couch. To the left of the couch was an area with three doors, there was two bedrooms with a bathroom in between the two.

"I'm going to go unpack." Inuyasha said as he lugged his luggage into the room on the left, leaving Miroku with the room on the right.

"Kagome are you sure your okay? Do you want me to come with you to the trial?" Sango asked Kagome from the top of the shrine steps.

"I'm fine, I promise, Kouga didn't get a chance to do anything to me before the police came and stopped him." Kagome said defensively holding her hands in front of her.

"Well do you want me to at least come with you when you go to his trial next week?" Sango replied calmly.

"Yeah if you would come that would mean a lot to me." Kagome said her tone suddenly changing from over happy to distant and somewhat sad.

"Alright I will be there, I promise." Sango said to Kagome noticing her sudden mood change.

"In a way I feel bad for Kouga..." Kagome said sadly.

"What! How could you feel bad for him! Kagome he tried to rape you." Sango said angrily

"I know but if he wouldn't have taken those drugs or whatever he took then I don't think he would have tried to do that to me." Kagome explained quietly as she bowed her head..

"Kagome..." Sango said quietly noticing the sudden change of emotions in her friend.

"I just don't want to believe that he did it on purpose! I loved him Sango and part of me still does even after what he tried to do, he promised he would never try to hurt me, in any way." Kagome said as tears started to fall from her eyes.

" I know Kagome, it will be ok, I promise. You will find someone new who was better then Kouga ever was." Sango said as she pulled Kagome into a comforting hug.

"Thank you Sango." Kagome said as she started to calm down.

"Your welcome." Sango said releasing her from her hug.

"Well I better get home before my little brother destroys my house." Sango said as she gave a slight smile to Kagome and headed down the long shrine steps.

"Ok bye Sango!" Kagome called to the back of Sango's retreating figure before sighing and going back into the confines of her home. Walking inside she was met by the eerie feeling of complete silence,while unknown to her Sango's words were going to come true faster then either one of them would have imagined.
